"Actually, I envy Huaxia. At least, there is no soil for mercenaries in China. And we, mercenary organizations have existed since the time of the ancient Greeks. It has become ingrained until now......"

On the veteran's farm, his home is still so square. Everything is square and square. Tables, chairs, round except cups. Even if it's a cup, it's a military white iron cup.

He has no alcohol at home, only coffee that he makes himself. Coffee is not expensive, it is the kind of coffee that is commonly rationed by the army.

He was now sitting in front of Hou Dasheng, pursing his lips, and his whole person looked as solemn as ever: "I actually want to clean up all organizations like yours, but obviously I can't do it." ”

"Most importantly, many people feel that you are fit and worthy. What these people think is obviously more important than what I think. At least for most people, that's the case. ”

The veteran's tone was inaudible, and there was no emotion to hear. You don't know his mood and don't see what he thinks. In fact, the best way to deal with a veteran is not to speculate on what he thinks. Asking directly, simply is perhaps more accurate than guessing.

"Even I have to admit that you have played a role that the military is not good to participate in many times." With a deep exhalation, the veteran whispered, "You have also housed some of my comrades, and your presence is indeed valuable in this regard. ”

Hou Dasheng didn't speak, just picked up the coffee and took a sip gently. He doesn't actually like coffee, he prefers tea. It's a pity that there doesn't seem to be tea here for the veterans.

And Hou Dasheng's people were not able to follow up. More than a dozen kilometers away from the farm, this is the military exclusion zone. Hou Dasheng was able to come in because the veteran went to pick him up in person.

But none of Hou Dasheng's people could come in. Veterans are credibility. Although the hound did not trust this, he could not stop Hou Dasheng's decision. Hou Dasheng poured some coffee again, and the veteran continued.

"It's also because of you that the army has a very bad habit now. Or rather, the Pentagon and Capitol Hill have some very bad habits. They began to use you more in many areas. And not the army. To me, this is intolerable. ”

Hou Dasheng smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not surprised by this result. After all, if the army is called, the impact is multifaceted. On top of that, the cost will be higher and riskier than hiring us. ”

To this, the veteran was silent. Hou Dasheng is no one else, it is impossible for him not to know some of the shortcomings in the country. These drawbacks are reflected in the top. The competition between the major consortia.

Energy consortium, financial consortium, military industrial group...... Wait a minute. In addition to this, there is the wrestling between the White House, Capitol Hill and the Pentagon. The company and the Bureau of Investigation are fighting each other. In terms of homeland security, it is very different from the company.

All in all, the relationship between the various aspects is complicated and messy. Those families who were the first to enter the Americas and had a certain amount of influence. There are also some political families, consortia. There are also some traditional families in the military.

Move and pull the whole body. Not to mention a veteran, even if he is classified as president, he can only cry out in vain.

It is expensive for the army to use, and there is no way around it. The equipment must be complete, which is very expensive. Weekday training, people eating horses, disability pensions...... It's not a small number.

The more serious problem with the use of the military is that the political risks that need to be taken are too great. Once something goes wrong, there will be a lot of people who are responsible for it. Although the president is classified as commander-in-chief of the three armed services, the military must also go through the Pentagon in order to mobilize the military.

The most photographed Marines, the reason why they are large and have a high appearance rate. It's because the president doesn't need to go through Capitol Hill and Pentagon authorization, and the only troops who can be called directly are them.

Therefore, for the Pentagon, the Marine Corps is equivalent to being raised by a mother. There are good things, so naturally the army, navy and air force, which are their own sons, will use them first. The equipment of one generation was eliminated, and it was the turn of the marines to equip it......

For the Pentagon, which is the dearest son? Of course, there is no doubt about the Army. Second son, that must be the navy. Of course, the military expenditure allocated to the Navy for reasons of demand is higher than that of the Army.

But on the part of the army, there is no less. The Air Force was only established as an independent army during World War II. Therefore, although the Air Force has a certain right to speak on military spending. But it is not as high as the army of the sea and the army.

What these three parties have in common, though, is to despise the Marines together. Even if it is a retirement pension, the three of them will be taken special care of by the building. Only by sea and land, there may be special deduction or slow delivery. Give more benefits, that is non-existent.

The White House is not unaware of the situation, but successive presidents have been unable to do anything about it. Or rather, they don't feel the need to mess with the Pentagon over this matter. This is very uncost-effective.

"There is a lot of military spending allocated every year, but the front-line fighters below receive so much allowance." Hou Dasheng smiled slightly and said softly: "My subordinate has a brother from CCT. After seven years in Afghanistan and Iraq, he finally got less than 200,000 dollars. ”

saw Hou Dasheng pause, and said softly: "But I have only stayed here for two and a half years." He got 500,000 dollars. Man, don't you just stare at what we're doing. The warriors below are also human beings, and they also have wives and children. You have to eat and drink Lazar too. ”

Regarding Hou Dasheng's words, the veteran was even more speechless. Why didn't he know about this?! According to statistics, there are more than 100,000 homeless people in the United States. They call this group of people "vagrants."

And among this group of people, the largest number turned out to be retired soldiers! This fact once pierced the heart of the veteran. However, he didn't have a good way to do it. He mobilized all the forces at his disposal, and did everything in his power to secure some homeless apartments specifically for veterans.

At the same time, it also helped some veterans to quit drinking and solve psychological problems. Although it has achieved certain results, it is tantamount to a drop in the bucket for the whole group. So, even veterans have to admit it.

Hou Dasheng and his group have solved the livelihood problem of those retired soldiers to a certain extent. After serving for several years or even more than a decade, these fighters have become accustomed to or only good at how to fight, hide, detect and protect.

Let them re-integrate, such a business, albeit with a strong Pentagon background. But also because of this background, they can't appear on too many occasions.

Nor is it possible to have too much money to hire more front-line combatants. As a result, the addition of Hou Dasheng's team has solved this kind of problem very well. But what followed was more active duty personnel as their combat experience matured.

Just consider whether you should continue to fight while you can still earn a pension for yourself when your age and experience are at your peak. Such thoughts, in fact, are not limited to the US military. Britain, France, and Germany, which have been reducing their military spending over the years...... and other countries have encountered similar problems.

The US military has not decreased its military spending, but its treatment has not improved. Several other countries are even worse, military spending has been cut, not to mention that treatment has plummeted. There are even some tasks that have been carried out and turned out and held accountable.

It is also because of this that the jackals were able to pull a large number of people from their side as members of the legitimate PMC of the jackals. At the same time, some of the elites have become members of the Jackal's subordinate detachment.

Speaking of which, Hou Dasheng is quite grateful to them. You must know that you must select and train an excellent front-line combat soldier. The resources spent are almost enormous. First of all, it is very troublesome to select personnel.

High-end combat fighters must not only master combat skills. It is also necessary to be able to operate some instruments. They will also go through various selections and eliminations, and they also need to go through actual combat. However, the peak years of service of such fighters were only a few years.

These countries have spent a lot of resources to train these fighters and have actual combat experience. Then they cut military spending and forced them out of the army. Hou Dasheng almost wanted to shake hands with the bigwigs who made this decision and thank them.

This is more alive than alive**! The training is good, and the actual combat experience is given. And then they were forced away. Isn't this a clear way to send combat personnel to jackals and them?! Isn't this more alive than alive for jackals?!

Just as happy as jackals, there are a lot of spy agencies. With the reduction of military spending, it is naturally impossible for the corresponding intelligence agencies to have such sufficient funds. Under the reduction, a large number of personnel are due to treatment and livelihood problems. had to leave the original institution.

If these people are engaged in other industries, their income is unlikely to be high. Only if they are in an industry that they are already familiar with will they be able to add to their experience. As a result, most of the unaffiliated spy and intelligence agencies have absorbed quite a few people from these people.

Like jackals, they also celebrate with a crown. Many people expressed their heartfelt gratitude to these countries for reducing the military spending of various institutions.

Almost at the same time, these countries began to involve the hiring of PMCs, PSCs. At the same time, the intelligence services began to keep the flow of information by acquiring it. In the past, the acquisition of intelligence was only one of the means of source.

But now, it has become the main source. They have even become less concerned with military and political intelligence, and have begun to favor economic and hot spot activities. Their power overseas, began to shrink.

The most obvious is what Hou Dasheng saw on the high seas. Those convoy fleets, as well as a large number of mercenary groups and PMC companies......
